If tuning is your thing, I'd have to choose a Glanza/Starlet. R5's are delicate these days and once fettled with they generally have no end of problems. Having said that if you could find a decent standard R5 GTT then I'd snap it up and take good care of it.

A standard VTS is probably a better drivers car than a standard Glanza, but there's no denying that a Turbo motor will be better if tuned correctly. Once a VTS is cammed/mapped at around 140-150bhp, extracting more power becomes a question of how many thousands you're ready to throw at it. Less cash thrown at the little Toyota will see you sailing well past that mark.

It depends on what you want in a small hot-hatch tbh.
